I am looking to purchase a new truck. I will tell you my situation and maybe you guys can give me your opinons. I have a F150 SuperCab and pull a 6 x 12 open trailer. I normally carry 1 48 Walk behind,1 36 Walk Behind, a 21", trimmer, edger, blower and gas. I do some mulching that is why I am looking for a new truck. I always buy bagged muluch because I find it faster to work with. I was thinking box truck because when I am not mulching I can put my equipment inside and always keep it dry and safe, also I would have a rolling billboard. I could put the mulch on pallets and have them loaded in the truck and always pull a trailer when needed. My second option is a new F350 Crew Cab so I could pull heavier loads. I would buy another open trailer so I could put the pallets of mulch in. My third option is a Stake Body maybe with a dump bed, so I could carry the pallets of mulch and my trailer. I never bag grass, so the only waste I ever dispose of is when I edge new tree and plant beds. What would you guys do? I like the option of the new F350 but I guess I could never carry my equipment and mulch at the same time. <p>
